Voidstare jumped back at her hoof and hissed. "dont hurt me!" he growled staring at her outstretched hoof. (He spent most of his life in the everfree. he doesnt even know what a butterfly is let alone a handshake)

Almond stared at Void, lowering her hoof. "Right, won't be doing that again..." She sat in the dirt and yanked up a mouthful of grass. It wasn't the best taste in the world, but she'd lived off worse. It didn't look so great half chewed, however. "So what's your name, snake face? Since I'm not dead or brutalized, I figure I owe ya and it'd be nice to have a name to go with the striking face!"

Voidstare in the dicection of ponyville "Bounty hunters call me Voidstare they never leave me alone. i never really had a name before. You can call me Void." Voidstare stomped on the ground as he recalled the last time he was attacked.

*Voidstare LOOKED in the dicrection of PV

(okay!) "Bounty hunters? Why would someone put a bounty on YOUR scrawny rump?" Almond laughed outright, chewed grass dripping down her chin. "Tell ya what! Since you kept me from drowning in my own voimt last night, we'll help ya chase off any losers trying to make a profit by harassing you." She rubbed the green from her chin and gave him her best "Hire me, I want to beat stuff up!" look. "Whadda ya say, Void? Want us by your side?"

"We..?" Voidstare gazed around Alomond.

Almond suppressed a flinch. "Uh- Weeee should get going! Come on, I'm thirsty! Is there a river around here or anything?" Sober Almond was far less open than drunk Almond, apparently. (Take your time! Lol!)

Voidstare walked next to a tree and put his front hooves on the gritty bark. He grunted and pushed as the tree trunk suddely opened up as a door. "Ive been here a while" he smiled

"Awsering your question. Yes i would be delighted to have somepony with me." He pointed to a large gash on his flank. "I would control them and make them walk into a river or somthing but they attack in the day. My powers stop working in daylight"

(Sorry, got caught up in drawing!) Almond checked out the door in bewilderment. "Wow. That... That's AMAZING." She trotted on in, making small impressed sounds. "How did you find this place?"

"There was a bounty hunter looking the forest. so i tried to hide and tripped on a root. i smacked the tree and it sounded hollow." Voidstare pointed to crystal clear river flowing in a blueish sparkeling cave.

"Water!" The former knight skidded up to the stream and dunked her head in it, tail swishing in excitement. She resurfaced a moment later with a gasp, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh that felt GOOD!" Almond shook water from her mane and sideled up to Void. "Alright boss, you keep mentioning bounty hunters, so I'm wondering just WHY they're so determined to get you. Be nice to know what we're getting into, so I'll be able to prepare. 'Specially since you say they attack during the day and it's getting pretty day-ish out there." Despite her obvious excitement, her tone was all business and the glint of her eyes determined.

Voidstare sat down and sighed. "Sit. im going to tell you why i g-have a price on my back."

Almond sat in front of Voidstare. She took out her sword and started polishing it with a rag tied to it's sheath. "Don't mind me, I'm listening. Snickersnap just gets tarnished if I don't buff him everyday."

"one night i decieded to walk into ponyville. it went well for only a few seconds until a small yellow foal saw me. you can guess what happened. Now every shop in town has a wanted poster of me." Voidstare sighed. [want to finish this later?]

(Yeah, it's getting late... Last post of the night!) Almond frowned down at her blade, scrubbing at a small scratch in the metal. "I've seen those posters. They were going to send out a batallion of soldiers, but Celestia put a stop to it. Waste of resources and all that." She put down her rag and stared at Void with a strange look on her face. "You don't really LOOK like the posters, though... They said you were twelve feet tall and had a gaze as deadly as a basilisk. You just look skinny to me!"

Voidstare stiffled a laugh. But a clank sound was heard in the direction of the cave entrance. Voidstare stood up and looked at the yellow sun on his front hoof. "Darn it! its still day! I hope thats not who i think it is.."

The clanking grew louder. "i know your in here Voidstare!!" Voidstare looked at Alomond and mouthed the words -Hide-

(Sorry, I've been ASLEEP all day today..! Sometimes happens with my meds.) Almond drew Snickersnap but did as told, hiding behind a rocky outcropping where she wouldn't be seen from the entrance. The fog of her hangover and dismissive humor was gone, replaced by a dark excitement and years of hard training. Snickersnap flickered briefly with sharp teeth and hungry eyes before going dark again, the two waiting for their unknown foe to appear.

(im not feeling to well myself) Voidstare jumped into the deep clear water. it was pretty deep.

An orange *pic in gallery* unicorn came into view. "Voidstare! you undead beast i KNOW youre in here!" the unicorn's horn glowed yellow and bolts of fire shot in every direction.

(Drawing up human!Voidstare..! How do you feel about DREADLOCKS? ;D) Whirling Snickersnap like a fan, Almond charged the unicorn. She called up her best "irrate guard" voice, "Halt! Who dares use destructive magic in their magesties Luna and Celestia's Everfree forest!" she didn't stop charging, however (difficult to do while swinging a sword), and slammed the blunt edge of her blade into his horn. "Speak, worm!"

The unicorn grunted and stopped sparking flames. "Oh and isnt it the drinking idiot stripped of her knighthood!" The unicorn stamped his hoof and laughed. "And i am going to char that blood thirsty scum and you cant stop me!"

Voidstare could only hear muffled talking from under the water. Voidstare could only wish that night would come soon.

CRAP Go to My Haters gonna hate! pic

Almond grinned and jerked the sword down, the sharp edge slicing one of the bounty hunter's ears clean off. "Better to be a former knight than to fail at becoming one in the first place!" She pivoted with the swing and brought the blade around again, faster, to sever the horn from his head. Snickersnap cleaved the air with a joyous scream, the blood of the first strike soaking into the metal. Almond started laughing. (You can take that horn strike or avoid it. I always leave big hits like that up to the person being attacked, for future reference.)

Awesome!

Cool! that's bada,ss!
